no it is impossible because H +ve ions and OH -ve ions can not realised together in aqueous solution

anshulji: thanks
anshulji: but when I asked my teacher she said yes and they said it depend on the no of ions released
anu24239: but can acid and base realease h+ or oh- ions together it is impossible
anshulji: yes

when electrolysis takes place
then hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions are produced.
if the water has any other salts
then they may also get decomposed into ions.
sometimes what happens is instead of hydrogen or hydroxide ions
one of ions of the salt get decomposed.
so the other gets bonded with either hydrogen or hydroxide ions.
so the compound in aqueous state exhibits acidic or basic nature.

anshulji: are u sure this is right
anu24239: yes
anshulji: thanks
anu24239: this have a exception if a water have a salt than this is right
